Carter Security is your trusted partner, dedicated to ensuring the safety and security of your customers, staff, and assets. Here's how we do it:

1. Professional Security Guards:

Our well-trained, uniformed security guards are the first line of defence for your retail establishment. Their presence alone serves as a powerful deterrent to potential crime. Our security personnel are experienced in crowd management and conflict resolution, ensuring that any issues are dealt with swiftly and discreetly, minimizing disruption to your business. All of our security officers hold a valid SIA license.

Whether it's a shopping centre, a standalone store, or a boutique, our security guards are equipped to adapt to various retail environments. They provide a reassuring presence for your customers and allow them to shop without worry. Carter Security guards are highly trained in first aid and emergency response, guaranteeing that your patrons are in safe hands should an unexpected situation arise.

2. Undercover Security Officers:

In addition to the visible security personnel, Carter Security also offers undercover security officers who blend seamlessly into the retail environment. These officers are trained to detect suspicious behaviour and apprehend shoplifters discreetly. By keeping a watchful eye on the store, they prevent theft and maintain a peaceful shopping atmosphere without creating a feeling of surveillance.

Our undercover security officers are experts in recognising signs of theft and fraud. Their presence goes unnoticed by customers, giving them a distinct advantage in apprehending shoplifters without causing embarrassment or distress to your legitimate patrons.

3. CCTV Monitoring:

In the age of advanced technology, CCTV surveillance is an indispensable part of any retail security strategy. Carter Security offers state-of-the-art CCTV systems that provide 24/7 monitoring of your premises. Our systems are equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced analytics that can detect unusual behaviour and alert our security team in real-time.
